Guillotine Shears enable accurate cutting.

Press Release Summary:



With adjustable rake angle and blade gap, MVS-C shears let users cut varied material thicknesses, permit narrow strips to be sheared with minimal distortion, and reduce burrs. Cutting beam is driven by double-acting, pull-down, hydraulic cylinders, and has control panel mounted on swivel arm. Shears have 3 pairs of roller guides for control of cutting beam, while each blade has 4 cutting edges and can be turned 3 times before grinding.

New Strippit/LVD MVS-C Guillotine Shears Provide High Accuracy, Reliability



Akron, NY-Strippit/LVD introduces a new line of MVS-C guillotine shears designed to provide high shearing accuracy and repeatability to address a range of cutting requirements.

A simple, efficient design using a new cutting beam driven by double acting pull down hydraulic cylinders provides accurate cutting and reliable operation.

A welded construction creates structural rigidity and a strong, robust unit. The rugged design of the frame and cutting beam combine to provide maximum resistance to deflection and torsional force, ensuring optimum cut quality.

MVS-C shears are equipped with adjustable rake angle and blade gap adjustment features that provide the flexibility to cut a range of material thicknesses, permit narrow strips to be sheared with minimal distortion and reduce burrs.

The rake angle can be adjusted as a minimum value, offering maximum control over the cutting process. The flexibility to minimize rake angle also allows the speed of the machine to be increased for greater productivity in certain applications.

MVS-C shears are equipped with three pairs of roller guides for control of the cutting beam and to minimize wear and maintenance. The cutting beam has eccentrically mounted roller bearings with motorized adjustment for the required blade clearance. The beam is permanently positioned against the roller guides. During the cutting process, the angled movement of the beam provides a proper clearance so that a precise, straight vertical cut edge is obtained, reducing burrs and friction between the upper and lower blades.

Each blade of an MVS-C shear has four cutting edges and can be turned three times before grinding, minimizing maintenance and ensuring long production life. The lower blade is mounted to a blade holder that is fixed to the table of the shear. With this design, the minimum desired blade clearance can be adjusted accurately over the whole length of the shear, allowing cutting of light sheet metal without burrs. A further advantage is that after grinding the blades can be adjusted perfectly without shimming.

The control panel of the MVS-C shear is mounted on a swivel arm for easy access and features a simple push button control to adjust back gauge settings, rake angle, blade clearance and cutting length. The control displays the input of the desired back gauge position, as well as the actual position. The retraction during cutting is automatically activated once the minimum predefined value is reached.

The MVS-C shear can be equipped with options such as sheet support and scrap selector for additional productivity. Selection of optional functions is activated using the electronic display on the control panel.
